Excited about working in the IoT space?
We devise and build creative, scalable, and maintainable solutions to address real pain points endemic to companies that use IoT devices as an integral part of their business. Whether those devices are used to monitor room occupancy and temperature, track inventory, or provide alerting for physical states, they need to be managed, updated, and monitored in a secure and robust way. Rigado's products meet this need.
The Tech
We're building a distributed system in Go (Golang) to manage devices on the edge, so our systems must function effectively in the absence of a fat, stable pipe between the server and the client. The system extends from the backend in the cloud down to actual management devices, so we've got software, firmware, and hardware engineers all working in tandem. No experience with the other areas of engineering required for this software position; what IS required is that your interest is piqued to learn more about them!
Concerned about “Checking all the Boxes?”
Please apply -- even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement. What's most important to us is finding authentic, interested and motivated people who are excited about the IoT space, not just candidates who check off all the boxes. Use a cover letter or send a note that helps highlight why YOU think you should be considered for this role.
What Makes you Successful in this Role at Rigado
Curiosity, empathy, ownership, and a fondness for collaboration.
If you're eager to both learn from and teach fellow engineers and non-engineers alike, build excellent products for customers, and dive headfirst into unfamiliar technology, approaches, and challenges, you’re halfway there!
Bonus Items
We're Building a Team in addition to Building Software.
We value and seek inclusion and diversity on our teams and at Rigado. We are committed to pushing a sea change on that front and we are committed to the work. This is a new, burgeoning area of technology that we're driving, so there's a lot of room to help shape the future of software - and the world - at Rigado!
Benefits
Location
This is a hybrid position, based in Portland, OR. A remote option may work, however, depending on your location (CA, CO and OR).
Clearmatics is a protocol engineering company. We are building a new financial market architecture that is more open, fair, and resilient than the legacy systems that are in use today. We develop protocols and software that create new markets for risk and more efficient infrastructure for trading, backed by a robust and scalable blockchain network, and secured with modern cryptographic techniques and economic mechanism design.
Clearmatics is based in London but operates on a 'remote first' model. We welcome candidates from all over the world. We have close ties to the Open Source and Ethereum communities, with Vitalik Buterin as an adviser.
The Engineering team at Clearmatics is responsible for developing our blockchain software at Layer 1 and Layer 2. At the core of our stack is the Autonity client, the node software that powers our blockchain network. It is based on Ethereum (go-ethereum) and is secured by Tendermint Proof-of-Stake consensus. Our decentralised platforms are built on smart contracts and decentralised applications, and are supported by backend services in Go.
We're looking to hire a Core Developer to expand our Layer 1 Engineering team.
ABOUT YOU
You're a systems programmer with good knowledge of Layer 1 protocols, and a passion for blockchain and decentralisation. You enjoy working to a high standard and writing code that is clean, performant, and maintainable. You appreciate the importance of careful design choices and can anticipate the impact of code changes on wider system behaviour. You can demonstrate a strong interest in blockchain and may even have open source contributions that you can highlight. You express yourself clearly in writing and in discussions.
RESPONSIBILITIES
You will be involved at all stages of the development lifecycle for the Autonity protocol and its blockchain node client (a fork of go-ethereum). These include: - Implementing new protocol features in Go and Solidity - Developing new distributed systems tests and frameworks - Contributing to protocol and design specifications - Working with members of the community to resolve issues - Your work will ensure that Autonity client is correct, reliable, performant, and secure. This will enable Autonity to serve as the foundational layer for a new ecosystem of decentralised markets.
